D-Link DGS-1210-28P

Overview

The D-Link DGS-1210-28P is a smart managed network switch that combines gigabit Ethernet speed with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capabilities in a compact, rack-mountable design. It features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports delivering a total PoE budget of 193 watts, ideal for powering devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without the need for separate power sources. Additionally, four SFP slots provide fiber uplink options to extend network reach or aggregate traffic efficiently.

This switch supports advanced Layer 2 plus features such as VLAN segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization, and static routing, enabling flexible and secure network management. Its fanless design ensures quiet operation, making it suitable for environments like offices, classrooms, and retail spaces. The unit also includes security measures like access control lists and D-Link’s Safeguard Engine to protect against malicious traffic, while meeting NDAA compliance for government and enterprise use.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
